Quote: I have the same problems as the OP, my main carry is a S&W M&P 9c, IWB, it's great when I can even wear a simple light jacket over it, but in the summer when I just want to wear shorts and a t-shirt it can be a pain to conceal. I've done it in shorts and a t-shirt but it leaves a decent buldge that I'm surprised nobody noticed. it does however conceal pretty well under a polo, or a button up, but I...

Baseball glove oil on holster?

Sounds like a good idea to me. I don't see a problem with that working. I think I might try that on my next holster. If you try it, post your findings.

Quote: KyJim Then, yesterday, I happened to see they had some boxes of 100 rounds of WWB in FMJ in .45 acp for $32.80 a box. I got two boxes and left a box. That's class to leave a box for the next guy. The old guy (My buddy) in the sporting goods at my WM told me about a person that was buying out all the 9mm in front of a guy that really needed a (one) box of 9mm to qualify, and he ask the guy in front if he could spare a box. The guy...

High velocity.45 ACP ammo?
Published (2009-11-19 06:40:00)
Basic physics says that the most 'comfortable' recoil is accomplished with the heaviest projectile weight and the lightest powder load necessary to cycle the weapon. So the load considered ideal for comfort and cycling reliability would be 230 gr. hardball (any 230 gr. bullet, really) with just enough powder to make major power factor (180, see definition above). Another way to put it, buy the cheapest 230 gr. box ammo , which is...

Using restroom with CHL
Published (2009-11-24 20:21:00)
Use the stall, and I tend to put my pistol wedged on top of the cripple bar or the TP dispenser. Some folks have lost their pistols, leaving them behind due to unholstering them. Seems to happen to police more often than CCW types, but it does happen. I do a pat-down when I leave to make sure I've got everything though, including the gun. This topic seems to come up once a month with new CCW types, so don't feel bad....

.22LR ammo prices
Published (2009-11-22 08:43:00)
Think maybe I will buy a truckload of ammo at the best price I can and rent a storage unit to put it in. Put it up for sale at what I paid plus $1 per box to cover the rental of the storage unit. Charge actual shipping, not some inflated price. If I get enough shooters to buy from me, the demand will not be as great for the ripoff artist and as with the axiom of supply and demand, perhaps the prices will begin to fall. Just a thought.... No...

You'd be surprised at how many "casual" gun owners do that.

I believe the 357 sig was developed to duplicate the performance of the 357 magnum but in an semi auto.
The 45 gap was developed for Glock by CCI. They wanted the ballistics of a 45 acp just in a smaller package. I have never reloaded any 45 gap, but I believe they use a small pistol primer.

Blue Wonder Gun Cleaner. It has an odor, but smells like Pine-Sol. Very pleasant. It's also more of a gel, so it's less messy.

I will give you a serious answer.
The first suggestion is eat a steady diet and get yourself on a schedule to were you are usually at home.
Second, you don't have to pull your pants down to your ankles. Keep them just below your knees.

This is my handgun safe. It is a modest collection but it is not a bad one considering I have only been collecting a little over 3 years. My rifle safe is not nearly as impressive.
I bought the racks from a fellow board member that produces them.

After going through a variety of j-frames, and four Kel-Tecs, etc, I bought a Kahr PM9 (and sold all of the above). For me, that is the perfect pocket carry. Not quite as small/light as the LCP I still own, but holds a more potent round and points/shoots far better. Also (and again, this is my opinion) anything that is double-stack is not a pocket pistol.
Just my .02. The search was fun, ...

Even at that range he'll probably still miss due to that ridiculous hold

Welcome to the forum! Great to have you. First, I'd suggest going finding a place, if available, in your area that will let you rent some guns to try out. You need to get a feel for what is comfortable in your hand. Also, if you are going to be jogging with the gun, you'll want to check out some holsters that will work well for that. Perhaps a fanny pack or belly band would ...

When I started shooting (I'm not that old) nobody had EVER heard of ANYONE renting handguns. Or maybe I just didn't get out much. I think it's a helluva idea, and I would think that it would help generate (or even just push along) some sales, so I'd like to see them go a bit cheaper.
Yep, they do require that you shoot their ammo, but I can't say I blame 'em on that one.
As for costs,...

Has ammo availability made you change your EDC?
For the past few days I've been carrying my 3" gp100 instead my 3" 629 carry comp. The reason is... I just can't find any 44 special ammo. I do have a few boxes of 44's left, but don't want to burn through them and have none.

Not a handgun, but I had a slam fire with an M1 Garand using GI issue LC69 ammo that was issued by the DCM for the match. Rifle was trashed, and I still have a nice scar in the palm of my hand from the op rod handle ripping it open. Does that count?

I would assume it's .45acp < .50AE < . 44 Magnum based on maximum bullet weight vs. velocity.

Cleanest .22LR ammo
I have a Taurus 990 Tracker .22LR revolver which I like very much; the problem I'm facing is the cylinder gets very dirty after 50-60 rounds have been fired. I am told this isn't uncommon. I have been shooting bulk ammo and it is very dirty. Do you think cleaner ammo would improve this situation? Is so, ...
